Mini Hot Runner Nozzle Supports Intricate Geometries, Complex Parts
NPE2024: The Star Line Crown Mini, offered through Technoject Machinery, provides edge gate technology in a small package.
Heitec Hot Runner Systems’ Star Line Crown Mini hot runner nozzle is being introduced to North American customers through Technoject Machinery. As parts become smaller and more intricate, followed by the emergence of miniature molding, the Star Line Crown Mini’s compact and versatility enables moldmakers to create intricate geometries and complex part configurations for both medical and automotive industries.
The hot runner nozzle provides edge gate technology in a very small package. Notable features include its:
- Design freedom: Its compact size and versatility allow for intricate geometries and complex part configurations.
- Minimal gate remnants: Due to vertical edge gate shear, gate vestiges are minimized, resulting in clean gate appearances.
- No separation of mold inserts: The nozzle’s design eliminates the need for separating mold inserts, streamlining assembly.
- Quick tip exchange and gate well cleaning: Maintenance tasks can be performed directly on the machine, saving time and effort.
- High temperature profile: Maintaining an optimal temperature profile, it suits various engineering resins including PA, PBT and PEEK.
- Robust construction: The nozzle can be inserted into a single cavity block, providing high strength and optimized cooling.
- Micro injection molding ready: It is ideal for micro-sized components and producing high-precision parts even at subgram weight.
The Star Line Crown Mini’s nozzle length is 24.5 mm. Part weigh per tip ranges from 0.05-5g, and there are 1-8 tips per nozzle. Radial layout of parts is 56 mm in diameter.
